After hearing the emperor's thoughts, Xun Yu thought it was feasible.

Marriage is a way to ease conflicts and maintain the current relationship between the monarch and the ministers. Even if it cannot stop Sun Ce from being unjust, he can use this position to appease him for a period of time and gain opportunities for the court to move. As for betrothal gifts, it is only an accompanying benefit. Xun Yu mentioned the dowry, and he reminded the emperor that Sun Ce always wanted to use the court's secretary to support Cai Yong's history. If some of the secretary was regarded as a dowry, Sun Ce might be more likely to accept this marriage.

Of course, Xun Yu felt that letting the eldest princess marry Sun Ce as a concubine would really harm the court's dignity. If possible, he could consider Sun Ce's younger brother. I heard that Sun Ce's second brother Sun Quan, although Sun Quan, was a few years younger than the eldest princess, was still at the age of getting married. Zhao Wen, who had seen Sun Quan, once said that Sun Quan was too short and too low, according to the physiognomy, he was a bad person, or he could cause some trouble for Sun Ce from within the Sun family to impose constraints.

The emperor thought about it and shook his head repeatedly. His original intention was to find a safe destination for his sister, so that the Han Dynasty would not be able to rely on after the collapse of the Han Dynasty, and he would get some food and taxes. Arms as betrothal gifts were already an unexpected gain, but he could not let his sister take more risks. Since Sun Quan was not a scheming person from his face, he would never let his sister move in, even if he was married to another royal family girl.

Xun Yu was very moved and expressed his support for the emperor's decision and personally contacted Jiang Gan to test it first.

The emperor immediately discussed the matter with Liu Ye. Liu Ye did not object. It was a choice between public and private, and it did not affect the court's strategy. You can give it a try.

What if it works?

After receiving the support of Xun Yu and Liu Ye, the emperor immediately discussed with Zongzheng Liu Chong, and asked Liu Chong to be responsible for the matter. He also looked for a royal family girl, who would also be named a princess at that time, and would marry Sun Ce's second brother Sun Quan at the right time. Recently, he married a noble family and tribal leader of Liangzhou family, and many royal family girls were named princesses. Now that the real princess is married, Liu Chong is naturally responsible.

Xun Yu found Jiang Gan.

After hearing the news that the emperor wanted to marry Sun Ce, Jiang Gan smiled badly. "The eldest princess is willing to be a concubine? Lingjun, why does it sound so like a conspiracy?"

"The plan is true, but the evil one is not." Xun Yu said slowly: "I don't deny that there may be differences between the court and General Sun when the old and the new are alternating. However, this is not the case."

Jiang Gan smiled without saying a word and looked at Xun Yu leisurely. He had just received Sun Ce's order to pay close attention to the movements of the court. Now Xun Yu takes the initiative to come and marry Sun Ce. This matter is strange and he cannot help but pay attention to it. Moreover, marriage is beyond his decision-making scope, so he can only understand the intentions of the court as much as possible, and finally decides that Sun Ce himself will do it.

"Ziyi must have thought that General Sun was both talented and civil and military, had a wealthy household registration in the five prefectures, and the imperial court lived in Guanzhong, and the loss of household registration was enough to prove that the Han Dynasty had been exhausted and there was a kingly spirit in the southeast. Sun's family should rise, right?"

"I didn't say that." Jiang Gan smiled slightly, not fooled by Xun Yu. Such things can be done, but they cannot be said, and they are worthy of the demographic.

"Look, even you dare not say that, why? Because no one knows whether the Han Dynasty is really exhausted. Yes, General Sun is a talented and civil and military, and the five states are rich in the world. It seems to be clear in victory or defeat, but in fact it is not. Why? People think about the Han Dynasty. Qin unified the world, and there is still a saying that "Chu is three households, and Qin will destroy Chu"? What kind of grace does Chu have to be remembered? People are just loving the old. The foundation of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, is there no one who thinks about the Han Dynasty? Qin has tyrannical politics, so Chen Sheng and Wu Guang responded in one fell swoop. However, if Emperor Gao had not lost the destiny of heaven, Xiang Yu was defeated by the peerless heroic martial arts, Julu defeated the Qin army with 200,000 elite troops, and the victory or defeat was unpredictable. Although the Han Dynasty has a ** government, there is no tyranny of Qin. Even if General Sun claims to be a tyrannical king, it is not easy to destroy the Han Dynasty."

Jiang Gan pondered silently. He knew that Xun Yu was talking about the truth. Although Sun Ce had the advantage of his strength, his advantage was not yet time to decide the outcome, otherwise Sun Ce would have taken the initiative to attack. One of the key factors was the hearts of the people. Sun Ce implemented the new policy, and the benefit was ordinary people, and the offenders were the aristocratic families in the world. The aristocratic families controlled a large amount of manpower and material resources. They were enemies of Sun Ce, which destined that Sun Ce’s road to battle for hegemony would not go smoothly. Why did Sun Ce stop and rest? He had to use the victory of the Battle of Guandu to digest the five states and eliminate the uncooperative families one by one. Only in this way can he truly master the five states and mobilize the manpower and material resources of the five states.

This is destined to be a long-term process. In the long run, Sun Ce is invincible, but in the short run, the victory or defeat is not as clear as it seems. Having money does not mean you can win a battle. Besides, Sun Ce only looks rich, but actually owes a large amount of debt.

"People's hearts need a process of adjustment. Maybe five years, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, or thirty years, depending on who can win the hearts of the people. General Sun implemented the new policy, the court could also implement the new policy, Yuan Tan and Cao Ang could also implement the new policy. Since the whole world is implementing the new policy, how can people in the world believe that the destiny of heaven is in General Sun? Relying on the victory or defeat on the battlefield? The four barriers in Guanzhong may not be enough to attack, but they are more than enough to defend."

Jiang Gan's eyes were a little more confused. "Then can marriage solve this problem?"

"Revolution may not necessarily have to bleed and drift." Xun Yu said slowly: "The final decision is not only the emperor and General Sun, but the hearts of the people in the world. If, ten years or twenty years later, General Sun proves that he is indeed the destiny of heaven, then Your Majesty may not be able to obey the will of heaven and the people and abdicate. After the marriage, the two families will be in a good relationship. In the future, even if the dynasty changes, they can still take care of each other because of their in-laws. If they do not speak badly, wouldn't it be better than life-and-death?"

Jiang Gan laughed twice. "I deeply agree with what you said. However, this is a big deal and I cannot make a decision, so I can only report to General Sun. You see, if there is anything else I need to inform General Sun, please tell me together, so as not to run back and forth thousands of miles and waste time."

Xun Yu had a slight head. "Ziyi said very well. The reason why Your Majesty was willing to marry General Sun was because he saw what General Sun did and determined that although General Sun was not a loyal minister, he might be a wise monarch. If the great Han Dynasty was abandoned, he also hoped that General Sun could choose a good son-in-law for the eldest princess. However, the court lacked financial resources and was afraid that he could not afford a generous dowry. For this reason, Your Majesty decided to use the imperial secretary as a dowry to be honored by the eldest princess."

"Secretary?" Jiang Gan tilted his mouth and smiled. "As a dowry of such a big one, I guess you will not have fewer betrothal gifts? General Sun now owes more than one billion in debt and cannot afford to pay too much money and food. If you ask for more, General Sun can't afford to marry him. Moreover, General Sun was entrusted by General Yuan, and this wife's position is already a master. Even if the eldest princess is willing to marry, she may only be a concubine."

"It's okay, these details can be discussed. Ziyi can just tell General Sun about the sincerity of the court. If General Sun is willing, the court will send important officials to negotiate with General Sun. If General Sun can send someone to welcome the bride, of course it would be even better."

"I must tell you the truth."
